Swallowing the Stars: Eternal Glory

Chapter 122 The Secret Manual of "Falling Moon"

Under the guidance of the guard commander Prey, they familiarized themselves with the manor.

Lu Jin entered a magnificent three-story pavilion located in the center of the manor.

This attic will be his resting place in the manor in the primitive zone of the virtual universe.

On the balcony of the third-floor attic.

"Fatty, open the treasure vault of the Virtual Universe Company."

On the balcony sofa, Lu Jin gave instructions to Fatty.

"Yes, Master!"

Fatty responded, and a projection screen appeared in front of Lu Jin.

‘Shua——’

On the screen, eight major categories appeared.

Mystic arts, weapons, rare treasures, technological weapons, materials, tools, biological items, and other special categories.

Each major category contains numerous subcategories.

For example, under the category of "biological life", there are plant life, metal life, tamed animals, and so on, with a wide variety of types.

Remembering the 'Time Source Tree's' foundation for advancement, and the 'Heavenly Revelation Bright Light Tree' which is currently stored in the external space and whose specific function is not yet clear, Lu Jin instructed, "Fatty, look up information about the Heavenly Revelation Bright Light Tree."

If the cheat software didn't use a random name, there should be information about the 'Apocalypse Bright Light Tree' in the Virtual Universe Company's treasury.

“Master, we could not find the Apocalypse Bright Light Tree, but the Apocalypse Bright Light Fruit is available for sale in the ‘Secret Realm Treasures’ subcategory of ‘Rare Treasures’.”

As Fatty spoke, a change occurred on the projection screen.

—【Heavenly Revelation Bright Light Fruit, temporarily increases affinity with lower-level light source laws, 100 points/each (70% off in Primordial Secret Realm, 80% off in Primordial Secret Realm, 90% off in Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, full price in Doomsday Secret Realm)】

Seeing this, Lu Jin nodded slightly.

Although a single Apocalypse Bright Light Fruit isn't very valuable, costing only 100 points, and even with a 30% discount for members of the Primal Secret Realm, it can be purchased for just 70 points.

However, the Heavenly Enlightenment Tree is like a golden goose, capable of laying a harvest in each growth cycle, making the tree itself quite valuable.

Of course, for him, selling the Apocalypse Bright Light Tree was definitely better than keeping it to 'lay eggs'.

After all, the same amount of wealth will have a much greater impact when acquired earlier than when acquired later.

For example, if someone were to give him an ordinary treasure right now, Lu Jin would definitely be very happy, secretly praising the other person for their discerning eye, and promising to repay them many times over in the future.

But if he becomes invincible throughout the universe, and someone then gives him an ordinary treasure, do you think I'm a beggar?
Lu Jin secretly made up his mind that after going to the initial universe, he would sell the Apocalypse Bright Light Tree and the immortal divine weapons he had previously taken from his slaves to exchange for points.

Then, Lu Jin asked, "What about the golden leaves of the Kras Ancient Tree?"

The next moment, the projection screen changed.

—【Golden Leaf of the Ancient Tree of Klass: Temporarily increases affinity with all elemental laws. The increase is greater for lower-level elemental laws and less for higher-level elemental laws. 1000 points/piece (70% off in Primal Realm, 80% off in Primordial Realm, 90% off in Heaven and Earth Realm, full price in Doomsday Realm)】

'Boil!'

Lu Jin cursed inwardly.

You should know that the golden leaf of the Kras Ancient Tree that he won at the Elementary Qianwu Auction cost 8888 Mixed Yuan Units!

As expected, the principle of "scarcity makes things valuable" applies under the channel monopoly.

Fortunately, his cheat was powerful; although he didn't get the 'Klas Ancient Tree', he did get quite a few Golden Leaves.

Of course, given the current affinity of the original body with the laws of origin, there is no need for the golden leaves of the Kras Ancient Tree.

“Master, it seems that the value of Virtual Universe Company’s points is far higher than that of Hunyuan Units.”

"Seeing that the original price of the Golden Leaf from the Ancient Tree of Kras is only 800 points per leaf," Fatty said to Lu Jin.

"Back then, your master was a victim of a pig butchering scam."

Lu Jin shook his head slightly.

The actual value of virtual universe company points is quite ambiguous.

The higher the level of the resources and treasures purchased, the higher the actual value of the points.

If the purchase target is a resource or treasure that can be bought from outside, the actual value of points is low; 1 Mixed Yuan Unit is equivalent to 7 or 8 points.

However, when the purchase target is a resource or treasure that is difficult to obtain through external channels, or even impossible to purchase, the actual value of the points will be higher, requiring at least several Mixed Yuan Units to be equivalent to 1 point.

Furthermore, Virtual Universe Company's points can only be exchanged for points at a 1:1 ratio using Mixed Yuan Units after one has reached the Immortal level; members below the Immortal level cannot exchange them.

Having stopped thinking about the pig-butchering scam, Lu Jin asked again, "Does the treasure vault sell Time Source Fruit and Light Source Fruit?"

It's worth mentioning that after obtaining the Time Source Tree, Lu Jin also did the same thing as Claes Golden Leaf.

Unfortunately, I was unlucky and didn't get any drops based on the Time-Based Life Tree or Time-Based Life Fruit.

I only obtained some normal drops based on Time Source Fruit and Light Source Fruit, as well as quantity-changing critical hit drops.

“Master, there are no Time Source Fruits for sale in the treasure vault, but there are Light Source Fruits for sale.”

As Fatty spoke, the projection screen changed again.

——【Light Source Fruit, permanently increases affinity with the fundamental laws of lower-level light, 1,000,000 points/fruit (70% off in the Primordial Realm, 80% off in the Primordial Realm, 90% off in the Heaven and Earth Realm, full price in the Apocalypse Realm)】

'One fruit worth 100 million points?' Lu Jin was secretly surprised. He hadn't expected the Light Source Fruit to be so valuable.

Needless to say, the high value of the Light Source Fruit does not lie in the extraordinary affinity with the laws of light that one gains after consuming it to its maximum efficacy, allowing one to easily master the fundamental laws of lower-level light and achieve immortality.

Rather, it lies in possessing an extraordinary affinity for the laws of light, which allows the use of secret techniques involving the laws of light to unleash even greater power.

Just like the movement technique 'Time Source Flow', because the time law is more compatible with the original body, the time clones will create more time illusions with the same level of mastery.

Suddenly, Fatty reminded him, "Master, we have received an email from the Virtual Universe Company."

Upon opening the email, Lu Jin saw a notification that he had earned 10 points and that he no longer needed to waste time cultivating his primal energy and mental power.

These 10 points were directly gifted by Virtual Universe Company, and every member who enters the Primal Secret Realm receives them.

As for not needing to waste time cultivating Origin Force and Psychic Power, Lu Jin was also aware of this.

As core members of the Virtual Universe Company, in addition to life leaps across major levels, the Virtual Universe Company will provide sufficient nutrient solution for minor level advancements below Immortality.

"Fatty, investigate and analyze the mysterious secrets of the 108 fundamental laws of time."

Lu Jin said to Fatty.

As one of the two supreme fundamental laws of the universe, mastering the fundamental law of time is extremely difficult.

To grasp the complete fundamental laws of time is like creating a qualified article.

To directly comprehend the laws of time is tantamount to creating a decent article without any prior knowledge.

Analyzing the mysteries of the 108 fundamental laws of time before comprehending them is like learning pinyin and grammar first, laying a solid foundation before creating articles.

In the short term, the gains from directly comprehending the laws of time are far greater than those from analyzing the mysteries of the fundamental laws of time.

However, the latter is like sharpening your axe before chopping wood, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

For exceptionally gifted geniuses, first analyzing the mysteries, then comprehending the laws of time, will ultimately enable them to grasp the fundamental laws of time more quickly.

Soon, Fatty said, "Master, there are many secret methods in the treasure vault that analyze the mysteries of the laws of time, and this one is the cheapest."

The next moment, a change occurred on the projection screen.

—【Secret Technique: Falling Moon, Price: 1000 Points. (Primal Secret Realm 30% off, Primordial Secret Realm 20% off, Heaven and Earth Secret Realm 10% off, Apocalypse Secret Realm full price)】
Introduction to the Secret Techniques: This is a basic secret technique of the Extreme Universe School, containing 108 sword techniques, each corresponding to a profound law of time. It mainly describes the first three diagrams of the "Extreme Universe Chaos Stele."

Finding the secret methods to analyze the fundamental laws of time is quite simple, since all the secret methods in the treasure vault have brief descriptions.

You can find it quickly by searching for keywords.

"Bought it!"

Lu Jin said to Fatty.

Although he hasn't gone to the Chaos City of the Initial Universe yet, the Chaos Stele he comprehends in the future may not necessarily be the 'Ultimate Universe Chaos Stele' whose specific details are unknown.

But it doesn't matter. The original price of the "Falling Moon" manual is 1000 points, but members of the Primal Realm get a 30% discount and only need 700 points, so it's not a big deal.

"Transaction successful!"

"700 points deducted, remaining 99300 points."

"Please wait, someone will deliver the secret method soon."

After confirming the purchase, a series of prompts will appear on the projection screen.

Afterwards, Lu Jin did not purchase any other items and waited for the management personnel of the original area to deliver the "Falling Moon" secret technique.

Resources and treasures?

He no longer needs any resources or treasures that could help him comprehend the fundamental laws of light and time, and that he could still afford.

Cultivation manual?

For the controller, continue using the Radiant Divine Weapon; there's no need to change it until the main body reaches the level of a Realm Lord.

The soul technique 'Clock of Time' and the movement technique 'Source of Time' are both at a very high level and do not need to be changed.

However, the martial arts secret techniques, due to the fact that the 'Light and Shadow Sword Manual' only involves the fundamental laws of light and not the fundamental laws of time, cannot fully utilize his insights into the fundamental laws of time, so it is necessary to replace them.

But there's no rush. We'll have to wait until we get to the Chaos City in the Initial Universe and determine which Chaos Stele we'll study next before purchasing the secret cultivation method that matches the Chaos Stele.

For the past three years, my main focus has remained on comprehending the fundamental laws of light and time.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Jin instructed the fat man, "Send a message to Luo Feng, suggesting that he purchase 'Blood Flowing,' which analyzes the profound mysteries of the fundamental laws of space."

"Yes, Master."

Fatty responded.

Without making Lu Jin wait any longer, in less than fifteen minutes, the management personnel of the primitive area delivered a silver briefcase.

The bedroom is located on the third floor of the attic.

"Snapped!"

Lu Jin opened the silver briefcase, which was filled with books with white covers.

On the cover of each book, the words "Extreme Universe" and "Falling Moon" are printed in gold universal language.

Furthermore, in the lower left and right corners of the book, there is the book's number and the name of the creator of the manual, 'Tian Yue'.
